Donated by Ernest and Virginia Couse Leavitt, Taos, New Mexico
Best known for her black and white etchings of Pueblo ceremonies, Gene Kloss’s paintings are few and rarely appear on the market. Where her etchings are spiky and deep with chiaroscuro, as if she is trying to capture a moment before it is gone, her paintings, as seen here in Indian Figure on Horse, approach the sculptural, as if the figures and horse press against a drapery, proceeding in shallow relief across a temple frieze.
-James D. Balestrieri
